Peter Kelly and Tom Griffin at the Irish World have nabbed an early interview with the new MP of Brent East, Sarah Teather, in which she promises to take up the McBride case:
I agree with the McBrides entirely. It is outrageous that the two Scots Guards remain in the Army. I will raise the matter in Westminster, and will be keeping in close touch with Kelly McBride.
And her party’s Northern Ireland spokesman, Lembit Opik added:
I hope that those nationalists and republicans there (Brent East) have taken note of my efforts for partnerships with all communities both here, in the North of Ireland, and in Dublin. I’ve never swerved from working with all political groups across the spectrum.
